  1. In the phase of development of user friendly software a Visual Interface was designed that was demonstrated.
  2. To use standard naming conventions
  3. To look into the possibility of Central Repository for hosting our project.
  4. Discussion related to generation of CPT keeping the property of the connection.
  5. Noisy-OR model CAST Logic was discussed.
  1. The interface developed is a simple tool for dragging and dropping a Node that is represented as Ellipse.
  2. The link between two Nodes can be created and the Node as well as link can be created.
  3. The Properties of Node can be modified.
  4. Integration of the tool with SMILE API
  1. Extract text from shape (AL)
  2. Change the shape of the Node to Rectangle. (AL)
  3. Setting up CPT values in a two dimensional grid. (SR)
  4. Adding multiple parents to a child. (SR)
  5. Reading of MEBN papers.
  6. Download Protege
  7. Read the difference between Propositional and Predicate Logic.

  3. Evidence are being set and cleared
  4. Belief updating and inferencing is being done.
  1. To output CPT after evidence in text file and to display it within our node as changing extreme colors.

11/11/09
  1. As a part of project discussion for in implementation of CAST Logic general discussion of the approach was performed.
  2. Different g and h values were changed in the CAST Logic approach to check if they meet the values of conditional probabilities or not
  3. Certainity Factors and their usage was discussed in detail in this approach
  4. Various methods and techniques were discussed in this regard
Various methods were discussed but it was simply a brain storming session since it is a heuristic approach to cater the negative influences within Bayesian model
Saleha was assigned to see into it further

  2. Demonstration of the complete implementation of CAST Logic
  3. Node layout has been changed incorporating states, name, probabilities
  4. Showing Overridden feature in the grid
  5. Demostrating different icons for different nodes including General, CAST, Noisy-OR
  6. Discussion of wrapper for Noisy MAX implementation
  1. Implementation of CAST Logic done
  2. Node layout incorporates name,states, probabilities exposed in the form of progress bar and C,N and G written for types of nodes
  3. Persistence of BN file and loading done
  1. Validation of CPT population comparison with SMILE
  2. Development of a Menu driven user interface
  3. Opening a new file for Influence Net
  4. Connection Layout shapes of arrows
